I agree. We do NOT want 1000 copies each of (for example) Darth Vader, Anakin
Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Princess Strom, Queen Leonara, Willa the Witch,
Basil the Bat Lord, the WW bad guys, or any other "personalized" and
characterized minifig (I would include the Black-mustached knight as well if
there was any alternative :-). We DO want one or two of each, which is very
possible if medium-large sets have them. We DO want (very much!) multiple
copies of "grunt soldiers", peasants, droids, your average everyday creature
of which we want LOTS and LOTS! A minifig pack with 5 or so
peasants/soldiers/droids would sell a heck of a lot, and we wouldn't end up
with tons of unwanted minifigs on our hands (like Willa and Basil in the FK
example).

I think that's what you think, because you DON'T have any. I thought Willa the
Witch would be really cool... until I got four copies of her (without even
buying ONE minifig pack!). I would hate to have four copies of the Princess or
the Queen; they would become meaningless and overbearing. I love having one of
each. I would LOVE to have hundreds of smiley royal knights, or falcons, or
forestmen... but having hundreds of [a cool minifig as] the ice babe (for
example) would be SOOOOO annoying. Right now, I'm dying to have just one; but
hundreds? No way! I'd rather have none at all.

| (...) You're comparing Willa the Witch to every other female face? Every other female face could be used for anything. Willa definately can't. That is what makes her a bad mini-face.
